A: assasination maim I am using a 5099E Wangtek tape drive with PC-36 controller (should be the same as QIC-36). The port address is 0x300, IRQ 5, DMA channel 1. This works, however it is difficult to get the tape "stream". Robert -- Robert Schien robsch@robkaos.GUN.de "To err is human, to really foul things up requires a computer"
